Measuring 57.8 meters from bow to stern, the Jayavarman holds 27 elegantly decorated cabins.

THE DESTINATIONS

Cai Be

Cai Be is a picturesque, sleepy town in the Mekong Delta , that bucolic image is shattered every morning with the gatherings of hundreds of boats selling their wares in one of the most colourful floating markets in the Delta.
Smaller than the more well-known market of Can Tho, the boats gather here to trade their local products, mainly fruit, creating a bustling atmosphere. Vendors display their products hanging from poles off the front of each vessel. Pull alongside and let the bargaining begin! Different from other big floating market in the region, Cai Be is a retail market starting at dawn and ending around mid-day, so try to visit it early or risk missing its vibrancy.
But wander the streets of Cai Be and you’ll come across numerous small art galleries, sea-salt extraction plants, bee-keepers with natural honey for sale and the very popular coconut candy making stores. Sit with the craftspeople and learn to cut the coconut treats, make a rice crepe or cook a batch of popped rice corn (Vietnamese popcorn). There is also a fine example of a French built, Catholic Church that dominates the skyline with its’ unique sculptural spire.

Sa Dec

Sa Dec is a small charming town in Dong Thap Province within the Mekong Delta. Anyway, it is popular town because during the Vietnam War, it considered as both an American Patrol Boat and Swift Boat base. Also, it was the original setting for Marguerite Duras’ famous novel “The Lover.”

There is a very busy, authentic market near the river and a number of architectural sites from the Colonial period, such as the old market, as well as numerous old mansions and merchant homes. Nguyen Hue, the riverside road, is the perfect setting for a stroll with its cafes and market stalls all overshadowed by the old French church.

Before the nineteenth century, it was the capital of Dong Khau Dao Province, and it was known as one of the largest cities in the Mekong Delta. Today, this romantic and charming town still isn’t very touristy and is a true hidden gem in the Mekong Delta.
